is this Monday, February 13. We strongly encourage all members (regardless
of experience level) to sign up to compete! There’s a newcomer division of
the competition specifically for people new to dancing. Even if you’re not
competing, come to check out the competition or the social!

We also have several events occurring this week in preparation for the
competition:

   -

   On Monday at 9:00 pm (after lessons), we’re running 4-style costume
   rounds.
   -

   On Tuesday from 12:00 AM until 6:00 AM (at the latest) we’re painting
   The Fence at CMU to advertise for the competition. Please meet at The Fence
   around 11:30 to come help out with painting!
   -

   On Thursday from 5:30-7:30 PM, we’re having a video review session in
   the Class of 1987 room (second floor CUC, near Rangos). We’ll be
   watching videos from the Penn State competition, and veteran dancers will
   be there to give feedback.
   -

   On Friday after the social (10:00 PM-ish), Brenna will be hosting a
   hair/makeup session at her campus house, Roselawn 8. Feel free to stop by
   and have some of the older dancers help with your comp hair! May feature
   tater tots.


Scotch Ball, our annual formal dance social, will be on March 25 this year!
